Landon’s Big Play: Teams Help Boy With Cerebral Palsy Score Touchdown
October 16, 2016
Landon Hawthorne is like many 10-year old boys — he has love of football and a determination to play.
The Bratt Elementary student was born with ataxic cerebral palsy, but that does not stop his love for the game. Landon plays for the Flomaton Hurricanes, and he recently ran the ball against Jay and Brewton as they faced off with Flomaton. Saturday, Flomaton visited the Cantonment Cowboys, who allowed Landon his biggest play ever.
After his teammates helped him onto the field, Landon ran the ball down field and across the goal line for a touchdown…both teams cheering as he celebrated in the end zone.
